Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alliance That Turned Her World : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 16

Beep, Beep, Beep Beep, Beep, Beep I groaned and turned to put off my alarm, I continued dreaming about Ares placing kisses on my neck down to my collarbone… wait a minute, Ohh shit ARES! I jolted awake in realization like I had just been struck with lightning. I scrambled for my phone on my bed and checked the time “fuck it's 8:30am”, my alarm was ringing since 8am and I kept on putting it off, now I only have thirty minutes to have my bath, dress up and go to his office. I still don't know his office, I have to ask Theresa first. I bolted from my bed and ran to the bathroom, there is no time for me to fully enjoy the bathtub so I quickly had my bath, luckily for me my towel was inside the bathroom after using it last night and I don't have to go into the room naked. Normally I would have no problem with that because I usually just come out of the bathroom naked and dress in my room but now I'm in this mansion and can't have anyone walking into the room like that. I went towards my

Ares pulled out his phone from his suit pocket, “Theresa good morning, is Cole awake now?” he waited till she replied on the other end. “Okay good, bring him over to the dining room” he continued, his voice calm but firm. I just stood there holding the small file he gave me. My heart was beating so fast. I wasn’t sure if it was because of him or because I was about to meet Cole for the first time, maybe both.

Everything in this mansion looked rich, shiny, and far from the life I was used to. We got to the elevator and my chest started beating “It will be fine, nothing is going to happen to you, just get in” I looked up at him, trusting

I sat down slowly across from him, trying not to scare him. “Would you like to watch TV” I said softly. He nodded his head meekly and pointed to his superman figure trying to tell me he wanted to watch it. I picked up the remote and turned on the Superman cartoon. ‘’Let me quickly get us some fruit juice to drink, would you like that Cole?’’ He nodded his head once again, Theresa smiled and went towards the kitchen humming a tune as she walked. The sound of the cartoon filled the room, for some minutes we just sat there him watching Superman, me pretending to watch too. Every now and then, he’d glance at me, and when I smiled, he’d quickly turn back to the screen, cheeks a little red. It was small, but it was progress and for the first time since I entered this mansion, I felt something warm like maybe, just maybe, Cole and I could become friends. ‘’Here I come’’ Theresa walked in holding a tray of three glass cups filled with an orange liquid which I assume is orange juice.
